Coyotes goaltending coach Sean Burke has been given permission to talk to other organizations about potential front office jobs.

"I had gone to (General Manager Don Maloney) originally and just asked him," Burke said. "It was sort of kind of a plan recommended to me, to get out there and make sure before the season is over if you're going to pursue some of those opportunities, you're best trying to do it now. It was nice of Don to do that." Burke has talked with 10 different teams at this point, but he doesn't think he'll engage in any formal interviews until after the season. His ultimate goal is to become a general manager, so that's why a front office job appeals to him more than a coaching gig. Mar 24 - 10:45 AM

The Coyotes have picked up options on goalie coach Sean Burke and associate coach Jim Playfair.

GM Don Maloney made the announcement at a news conference Tuesday. Maloney is hoping to re-sign coach Dave Tippett and picking up the options on his trusted lieutenants surely won't hurt matters. Burke has also been a key factor in the growth of goalie Mike Smith, who is also a free agent. We'll see if retaining Burke and Playfair help Maloney keep the gang together.

"I want our preparation to be always consistent, as well, so the team knows their goaltending is ready every night," said Burke. "The guys can go out, play their game, play the system, and know the goaltending is going to be there for them." Dave King was also brought in as an assistant to the Coyotes' coaching staff on Monday. Tue, Sep 22, 2009 11:00:00 AM

Sean Burke announced his retirement Tuesday, ending a long and impressive career between the pipes.

At 40 years of age, Burke has played for nine NHL teams since being drafted 24th overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 1985 entry draft. He is a three time NHL all-star with 324 career victories and 38 career shutouts (sixth on the all time NHL list). Age had slowed him down over the past few years as he had become a number two goalie on the often struggling Los Angeles Kings. This doesn't affect the Kings much since Dan Cloutier is slated to start most games this year. Tue, Sep 18, 2007 02:08:00 PM

Mark Arcobello recorded two goals, including the overtime winner, in Tuesday's 5-4 victory over the Red Wings.

It was a big night for Arcobello in just 13:55 of work, as he also contributed a hit while winning 56% of his faceoffs. Arcobello now has seven goals and 11 points in just 19 games with the Coyotes this season.

Tobias Rieder potted the only goal for Arizona in its 3-1 loss to the Penguins on Saturday night.

He also had six shots on net, a team high. Rieder’s goal was the first of the game, and it came shorthanded 1:34 into the contest. It looks like he will become a solid offensive player in time, but right now he’s just showing glimpses, with 12 goals and 19 points in 62 games. David Moss had the assist.

Shane Doan won't be suspended for his hit that knocked Pittsburgh defenseman Kris Letang out of Saturday's game.

Letang wasn't able to finish the game and he was taken to a nearby hospital for further evaluation. The NHL's Department of Player Safety had this to say about the hit: "After reviewing the play carefully and from all angles, we have determined that this was an unfortunate result from a hockey play. It is not boarding, it is not charging, he doesn't hit him in the head. He finishes his check by shoving Letang and unfortunately he falls awkwardly. It wasn't really even a violent hit, although resulted in an unfortunate injury."

B.J. Crombeen scored a goal in a 3-2 shootout victory against the Vancouver Canucks.

Crombeen now has two goals and four points in 41 contests this season. There was a time in his career when Crombeen was a good source of PIM, but the 29-year-old has only spent 55 minutes in the sin bin in 2014-15.

Both goals came off of deflections giving the Coyotes a brief one-goal lead, and his second was on the power play for his first extra man tally of the season. Moss now has three goals and nine points this season.

Michael Stone potted a goal for the Coyotes in their 4-2 loss against the Lightning on Saturday night.

Stone tallied the game’s first goal at 14:02 of the first period. He has points in four of his past five games, and now has three goals and 14 points on the year. Mark Arcobello scored the other goal for Arizona.

The Arizona Coyotes are giving John Moore the opportunity to play on the power play.

The Coyotes are looking for a replacement for the now-traded Keith Yandle and Moore has always had the reputation as being a good offensive defenseman. Moore saw second unit time with the squad as the Coyotes have given Michael Stone the first chance to play on the point alongside the great Oliver Ekman-Larsson.

Brandon Gormley and Tye McGinn will be scratched against the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night.

Neither player offers much fantasy value, unfortunately. Gormley has produced just four points, 24 hits, and 31 blocks over 25 games this season. And McGinn has six points and 59 PIMs over 43 games with the Sharks and Coyotes.

Smith, who was pulled late for two empty-net goals, now leads the league with 39 losses and 175 goals against. Smith was good during the game, being beaten only by blasts from the point through a screen. His record now stands at 13-39-5 with a .904 save percentage and a 3.14 GAA.

The fifth goal was an empty-netter. Simply put, this was a game to forget for Domingue who was making just his third NHL start. However, the good news is that Arizona now sits 29th overall in the standings. Three points greater than last place Buffalo, and one point underneath 28th place Edmonton. Domingue is now 1-1-1 with 10 goals against on 113 shots through three starts and five games.
